I was aggravated to start a search the other day and see an annoying side bar to the left. I tried and tried to be rid of it but no dice! Finally, after 30 minutes of looking, I found the solution on their "help" forum--it seems there are hundred of people that feel just like me!

To get rid of that sidebar, go to "settings" in the right hand corner, choose "search settings" in the drop down menu and then go to "interface language". Choose "Elmer Fudd" or "Pirate". When you open Google search again, that stupid side bar on the left is gone! Hooray!! cheering

I hope this helps someone.

I disliked the side bar too..and did not know how to get rid of it..Thanks for the information..Now I have the google in the way I liked it to be..By the way, I'm curious to know what this term "Elmer Fudd" means..

Elmer Fudd is a character in one of our oldest and most beloved cartoons, Bugs Bunny. Elmer is always hunting Bugs, dressed in a ridiculous hat and with a big gun. Bugs always outsmarts him! Anyway, Elmer can't say the letter "r", and says "w" instead. So he pronounces "rabbit" as "wabbit" and "rascally" as "wascally", hence his most famous phrase, "Ooooo, you wascally wabbit!"

oh..thanks for the detailed explanation..But why is there an "Elmer Fudd" in the Language preference of Google.. Now will the search give results with "r" replaced by "w"? Confused!!!!

You'll have to do it again every time you shut off your computer. A small price to pay for getting rid of that stupid thing!
